La couche de drainage ne donnera pas les résultats escomptés si d’autres mesures aussi simples qu’efficaces et économiques ne s’y ajoutent pas. Les mesures en question suivent les bonnes pratiques de génie. Il s’agit en l’occurrence : de coiffer les remblais d’une couche argilo-limoneuse imperméable dont la pente positive éloignera l’eau de surface du bâtiment; de créer un canal de drainage qui acheminera l’eau de la semelle de la fondation pour que l’eau s’écoule jusqu’au collecteur pluvial. Le drain devrait se trouver dans une couche de 150 mm de gravier ou de pierres concassées. Au bout d’un certain temps, le drain abaissera et stabilisera le niveau hydrostatique de la nappe phréatique. 4, record 3, French, - drain%20de%20fondation
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Le drainage de la semelle de fondation en bois traité est généralement assuré par une couche de pierres concassées et tamisées de 125 mm d’épaisseur (ou tout matériau granulaire ne contenant pas plus de 10 p. cent de granulats fins pouvant traverser un tamis de 4mm) couvrant toute la superficie du bâtiment et débordant des limites extérieures des semelles. La couche de gravier draine toute eau à la base du mur vers un puisard, d’où elle est ensuite évacuée. Des drains de semelle peuvent être utilisés au lieu de la couche de matériau granulaire, mais ils sont habituellement réservés aux semelles de béton traditionnelles. Les entrepreneurs expérimentés dans la construction des murs de sous-sol en bois préfèrent toutefois utiliser des matériaux granulaires au-dessous des semelles car ils jugent cette technique plus fiable. 5, record 3, French, - drain%20de%20fondation

Les tuyaux d’évacuation récoltent les eaux des sanitaires et les acheminent vers la colonne de chute verticale. Cette colonne de 3 po de diamètre se continue sous la dalle de béton du sous-sol, où elle devient le drain de bâtiment de 4 po de diamètre. Ce drain horizontal légèrement incliné se dirige tout droit vers l'égout.

The best means of cutting pipe is with the use of a snap type cutter which has sharp hardened cutting wheels. In the past plumbers used a cold chisel and hammer, but due to technological change in the manufacture of the pipe, the iron has become more difficult to cut by this means.

La meilleure façon de couper un tuyau consiste en l’utilisation d’un coupe-tuyau à chaîne à molette affûtée et trempée. Par le passé, les plombiers utilisaient un ciseau à froid et un marteau, mais étant donné les changements technologiques dans la fabrication des tuyaux, il est devenu beaucoup plus difficile de couper la fonte par ce moyen.
